Takarazuka Revue Star Troupe Top Musumeyaku Maisora Hitomi Retirement Press Conference “I am overwhelmed with sentiments”

(Source from Nikkan Sports)

Takarazuka Revue Star Troupe Top Musumeyaku Maisora Hitomi has decided to retire in December 2024, and she had her press conference in the Takarazuka Grand Theatre “Espree Hall” on the 8th. In a white dress, Maisora says, “to everyone whom I have met, taught me, guided me, raised me up, and to all the fans so far, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I will continue to evolve every day as a Takarazuka musumeyaku before the last day comes and want to do my best.”

Maisora entered the Revue, ranking first of the 102th class in 2016. After assigned to Flower Troupe, she was known for her loveable appearnace and sharp dancing. In April 2019, she was transferred to Star Troupe and in the same year in October, with Rei Makoto as her partner, she became the Top Musumeyaku. She was the heroine for many overseas musical (adaptations), such as “Romeo and Juliette” “1789 – Lovers of the Bastille”. Together with Rei-san, they are the Top Combi of the firsts. (*Rei Makoto was ranked first of the 95th class.)

She decided her retirement after the closing performance of “ME AND MY GIRL”, in which she admired, and she played the heroine Sally in the performance. “I decided to retire on this 110th anniversary, a turning point in which I feel so content and fulfilled in my heart.” She told this news to Rei-san in the rehearsals for the previous Grand Theatre performance, and (REi Makoto has said), “If that is what Naco-chan (Maisora) has decided, I will suport her fully.”

Her memorable performances were three, including her first role without changes in Flower Troupe’s performance “Hanna’s Florist”, “Romeo and Juliette” to which she described, “how I instantly felt that I was welcoming a new ‘door’ of myself”, “Valencian Passion” to which she played the heroine in Shibata Yukihiro’s play, a director whom she admired.

In the conference, she wore the necklace Rei-san gifted her. “Rei-san said these encouraging words, ‘Even if you can’t do it, that’s fine. As long as you enjoy yourself the fullest on stage’. Such words gave me the motivation to continue moving forward,” she smiled and recalled.

Her retirement performance will be “Hit Me Anyone One More Time -Top Secret- / Tiara Azul -Destino-” which will be performing in the Takarazuka Grand Theatre on August 17~September 22. And after the Tokyo Takarazuka theatre performances on October 19-December 1, she will be retiring (from Takarazuka Revue) after the closing performance.

The subs have been resynced to the official release and revised.

The translation was done aurally, so there will be more mistakes than usual, even if I did disturb a lot more people for this one. Special thanks to Penguin and Barafubuki, as well as the usual suspects I need to cry to.

I’m not a fan of this novel and I didn’t really like the old version (but it was a lot because this novel wasn’t really for me and not Takarazuka’s fault). And yet, this is a good musical. The songs are all good, I can’t think of any I didn’t like. Coto is amazing, as expected, but also more than I had expected. The cast is solid, and if I were to change anyone it would have been solely for personal preference.

HAPPY NACO DAY👼

These pictures are responsible for affecting me in so many ways. I borderline hate them to the point of loving them. Gosh look her her. Look at them.

Another bonus cotonako ;)

Such a lovely moment when she buried her face on coto’s shoulder 😌

That’s her comfort place to stay for a while.

,,

Plus, I adore how strong and independent she is during Coto’s absence. I should draw her more 😌

So is anyone gonna talk about the fact that hoshigumi will be adapting freaking RRR into a stage musical in 2024 or am I living in my own fever dream?

RRR. Musical. Takarazuka.

Maiti: Thank you too.

In Hoshigumis version of 1789 The Lovers of Bastille they have casted it like the original French version with Olympe as female lead and not Marie Antoinette as in the Tsukigumi version.

But I’m very excited to see who will play Marie Antoinette…. maybe an otokoyaku? But my hopes and wishes goes to Arisa Hitomi.

(And somebody plz change the Takawiki)
